The Challenger Gold Mine Emergency Response Team (ERT) have been awarded competition winners and overall best team in the annual 2016 SA Mines Emergency Response competition hosted by the South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy (SACOME).

As well as being awarded as competition winners and overall best team, the Challenger team were also named team winners of Theory, Confined Space Rescue, and Industrial Rescue scenarios. The team demonstrated consistency across all events participated in. They were managed by Jason Carroll, and superbly led throughout the competition by Dan O’Rielly.

This is an outstanding result given the quality of the opposition, with some teams containing professional full time emergency responders and all Challenger ERT members, management and trainers are to be commended for their efforts.

The team’s performance and this result demonstrates that the Challenger ERT has the capability to respond to, and deal with, any emergency related incidents in a professional, safe and competent manner.
